R6 or maybe gsxr. I have an r6 and a buddie has a gsxr and they have been nothing but reliable even though they have been beat on/lot o miles.

cbr is to small and kind of fugly

kawi's require to much maintinence.

lol you srs?

all of the 4 japanese bikes willl have pretty much equal reliability, the cbr isn't too small all 4 are relatively the same size, some bikes will have a bit higher footpegs and longer reach to the bars but aren't too different.

how many miles do you have on your r6?

yeah the 636 is really nice, but have you ridden the 07+ 600rr, that bike is so damn smooth, it is so easy to turn and just glides through the corners. Very confidence inspiring bike

Theyre all great bikes and 99% of riders will never reach these bikes' limits. Just sit on them all and pick the one which feels the most comfortable on position...put your feet on the pegs too. Or just get the one that you like the most looks wise.

cbr600. i owned one. super fast, very comfortable, and never had a problem with it.

the R6 your A$$ will sit as higher than your hands. The ass end of those bikes suck. unless your going for straight track. oh ya and there low-mid range power, which youll be in 80% of the time straight blows.

there hasn't been any real major changes besides colors for most manufacturers since their 07 or 08 models

Gxsr, never heard any bad about them, just isnt my cup of tea.

true, the r6 has always been known for weak low/mid range but screaming top end.

if you still want a 600 class inline 4 bike then the 636 is the best bet because it has more torque and is better suited for the street.

but an even better choice would be a triumph daytona 675
675cc inline triple

This, the 650r is comparable to things like the SV650 or FZ-6. It's still semi sporty, but it's more of a "standard" than a "super sport". If you're going for super sport, the Kawi zx-6r is the one you want to compare.

And when I was shopping, Kawi still had the best price point out of all 4.

my take is

zx6r>cbr600rr>yzf-r6>gsxr

This would be my take as well.

Honestly, the best thing you can do, is go sit on all of them and decide which one fits you best. Sit on them, have someone hold it while you get in the riding position, and get the one that's most comfortable for you to be on. The difference between them all is so marginal, that you honestly won't notice the difference, especially if you're just beginning.

But for me, it would be a kawi, then the Honda. Yamaha was a little uncomfortable to me, and I just don't want a Suzi.

And yeah, the 05-06 636 were beasts! That's what I'm on now
